I’m trying to find a good plugin for JSP and struts development.

I have the 2.7RC2 demo of MyEclipse installed.
I have the clearcase plugin from rational installed.
When I attempt to edit a file using any other plugin/editor within
eclipse (Lomboz, TextEditor, etc), it prompts me to check out the file. I can then edit it without issues.

When i do the same in the MyEclipse JSP editor it doesn’t do anything.
Matter of fact, the file is locked read only (which is because
it never got checked out from clearcase).

If i manually check the file out, I can edit it and then I can manually
check the file back in.

I would like the functionality that I have with any of the other plugins, where as soon as I start attempting to edit the file it prompts me to checkout the file.

any suggestions?

thanks

UPDATE – I get that functionality when i use the CSS editor and the XML editor supplied by MyEclipse. Still doesn’t work for JSPs 🙁

Thank you for reporting this behavior to us, unfortunately most of us don’t work with the other source control systems on a day to day basis, so its hard to remember to check against typical use cases when developing.

We will look into this ASAP.

seven, I checked with Scott and with 2.7 GA we will be partway there. The JSP editor in 2.7 GA will not need to be closed/reopened after you checkout a file… however I’m not sure of the state of ‘automatic prompting for checkout’, I think that will be on our 2.8 todo list.

ok. good to know something might be in the works tho.

just a note. i didn’t have to close/reopen the JSP editor with 2.7rc2. once i checked out it was ok because it saw that it was writable.
so at least in my case, you are already at the 2.7 GA functionality 🙂

thanks again
